Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles

Pharmacodynamics is a scientific field that delves into drugs' intricate biochemical, cellular, and physiological effects on the human body. The study of pharmacodynamics helps us understand how drugs interact with the body and elicit various responses.
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or within...

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

The parenteral route is a critical method of drug administration. It delivers compounds directly into the systemic circulation and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This approach is particularly advantageous for drugs that exhibit poor absorption or instability when administered orally.
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...

Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Pharmacokinetics is a scientific discipline that focuses on the journey of a drug within the body, encompassing four key stages: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The first stage, absorption, involves the drug's transfer into the bloodstream. Several factors dictate the extent and speed of this process. For example, the liver often metabolizes oral drugs before they reach systemic circulation, leading to only partial absorption. In contrast, intravenous (IV) administration...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the appropriate...

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral

The administration of drugs via parenteral routes allows for direct drug introduction into the systemic circulation, resulting in high bioavailability because the medication bypasses the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic metabolism.
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...

Area of Science:

Educational Psychology
Pharmacy Education

Background:

Self-authorship theory explains student development from dependent learning to independent identity formation.
Self-authored individuals exhibit critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and mature decision-making.
College experiences can be intentionally designed to foster self-authorship development.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the application of self-authorship theory in pharmacy education.
To examine how academic environments can support the holistic professional development of pharmacy students.
To align educational practices with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education's (ACPE) call for active, self-directed learners.

Main Methods:

The study is based on the developmental theory of self-authorship.
It utilizes the Learning Partnerships Model, a student-centered approach.
Focuses on cognitive and affective growth within pharmacy curricula.

Main Results:

The theory of self-authorship provides a framework for understanding student transformation.
Pharmacy education can be structured to promote the transition to self-directed learning.
The Learning Partnerships Model is presented as a viable educational strategy.

Conclusions:

Self-authorship theory is relevant for enhancing pharmacy student development.
Pharmacy educators can leverage this theory to foster lifelong learning and professional growth.
A student-centered approach is key to promoting self-authorship in academic settings.
